Today is Monday, I am coming back from a horrible eating weekend with no workouts. I always have such good intentions but just couldn't pull through this weekend. I didn't track anything mainly because we had company and I was cooking for everyone. I really need to learn how to balance that a little better in the future.

This morning I got up and went to the gym a little late but I ran on the treadmill for a full 60 plus minutes. I did intervals starting at a warm up at 6.0, recovery speed of 6.7 maximum speed of 9.0 eventually my recovery speed was at 7.0. I started off alternating every two minutes but after awhile I ran the maximum speed .5 miles and recovered for two minutes. The only reason why I got off the treadmill in 65 minutes was because the clock said 6:45 and I had to get ready to go to work. Such a great workout just need to be consisted with eating the right foods so that I can get back to wear I want to be.

I am hoping for a little more positive energy this week to get more stuff done and to maintain that wonderful will power that I know I have.

This week will be a good week for me. I can just feel it!

Another day scale read a pound lost. I always seemed to do well until the weekend. This weekend my focus will be to stay on track. I really have to see if I can rid these last few pounds and see what it would look like. So close to it that I don't think it would be a noticeable difference but I need to see if I can do it. Reach yet another goal for myself.

My workout today was group spinning class. I worked out hard sweat and drank lost of water and it felt so great so glad to get the workout completed. I really do need to make an effort to get to spin every Friday no matter what just to have some variety in my workout.

My shins seemed to be a lot better today hoping the it was the jumping rope and calf raises that I did last week because I really don't think I need new shoes again.

This weekend, I will try to get a run in on possibly Sunday. We are expecting company so that means I probably will have to really be careful on calorie intake, making sure that I get all fruits, veggies, and dairy in no matter what. Stay full the good foods and definitely no junk food.

Goal this weekend is absolutely no sugar at all! Continue to journal and get some exercise one day of the weekend. Make good choices.

Yes I can do this!

Today was a mini run day. I ran 3.5 mile had the nike + set at 2 miles. I was able to make it through but as I mention yesterday I will probably take some rest day and do cycle tomorrow as well as change my shoes. I can walk fine in heels but when I took my boots off today I really notice the pressure walking in flats. Strange I know.

I ate a couple of tootsie rolls today not enough to sabotage myself tonight hope to go home after hair appointment and make a nice light salad.
